So don't believe Clublog results, just turn on your radio and compare activity on FT8 with activity on other modes. You'll have to download and install the devil's WSJT-X to do that. I hope that your soul is not thereby permanently stained by the act of trying to learn the facts. :)

I called CQ on SSB for an hour and called CQ on CW for an hour.  I worked about 100 stations. 
 This was a weekday evening with a mix of NA, SA, and Eu stations.  I then looked up each 
call to see how many were log uploaders to Clublog.  The answer, only 20% of that 
“traffic” uploaded to clublog.

Beware of assumptions on data.

75% of clublog uploaders may be FT8 – to your point probably higher.  But that 
does not represent the HF traffic at all.
